Zane Benefits CEO advises employers to cancel group health insurance.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) January 31, 2015

Zane Benefits CEO and co-author of “The End of Employer-Provided Health Insurance” Rick Lindquist, has one piece of advice for small businesses: cancel your employer-provided health insurance.

According to Lindquist, “employer-provided health insurance is the greatest challenge facing U.S. employers, small and large, when it comes to recruiting and retaining top-quality employees."

"Due to the significant cost advantage for business owners and their employees in the individual market, we predict 60 percent of businesses will eliminate traditional employer-provided health insurance in favor of defined contribution healthcare and individual health plans over the next three years.”

New defined contribution healthcare solutions allow employers to reimburse employees for individual health insurance costs in lieu of offering traditional employer-provided health insurance. According to Lindquist, “defined contribution solutions save businesses and their employees 20 to 60 percent on health insurance costs annually.”
